In terms of talent, Nevada is clearly the better team.Still, the game means more to SMU and they’ve got the firepower to put some points on the board against a porous Wolfpack defense.Most important, keep in mind that betting on big bowl game favorites has been a ticket to the poor house over the long haul. Since 1974, bowl game favorites of 14 or more points have only covered the spread 37% of the time.The line has moved against SMU somewhat since the opening, but the difficulty that lare favorites have covering in bowl games remains.Nevada may have the offense necessary to produce a margin, but their defensive liabilities will let SMU hang around and won’t ever be able to close the proverbial ‘back door’.Both RB's are supposeably out for Neveda..
